Hello everybody,
So I’ve got a problem that persists for two years now, but as it didn’t get worse I could live with it. Now I’ve got time so I’m trying to figure out what the hell is going on with my PC.
The symptoms:
Rare BSOD errors, very unpredictable without any consistency. What I mean by that is it doesn’t matter if I play some game on ultra graphics (Project Cars, GTA 5, Watch Dogs) sometimes it crashes in the first 5 seconds or after 10 minutes or I play 2 hours without an issue. Sometimes I play 4 hours and when I’m back at the desktop it crashes immediately. But it is not connected to only gaming (although it is more frequent then), I might just browse in Chrome, or I’m working in the house and only Spotify is playing… There are times when it happens every other day, a couple of times a day and then nothing for a month.
Logs, memory dump, other debugging results:
Just to be clear before I did a windows clean install I’ve got all sorts of error messages when BSOD occurred, after that I get a lot fewer kinds. Running WhoCrashed on the dumps:

I’ve started the logs right before I started playing F1 2018, and some 20 minutes later I’ve got a BSOD, I don’t see any anomalies.

I’ve started the logs right before I started playing F1 2018, and some 20 minutes later I’ve got a BSOD, I don’t see any anomalies.
Attempts to fix it:
First off, I’ve updated every driver, nothing changed
Moved my graphics card to different PCI slot and also moved around with the RAM sticks (tried every permutation, with one RAM, two RAMs in every slot)
Ran chkdisk, sfc /scannow all good
Windows was up-to-date
Updated the BIOS
After that I’ve realized that I need a to go deeper, so I’ve continued with these steps:
Made a completely clean install of Windows
Ran MemTest86, 4 passes, all tests (free version), each stick separately, no errors found
Removed the CMOS battery for 3 hours to reset BIOS
Checked both SSD and HDD with Crystal Disk Mark and both are in good condition
Ran Mark3D benchmarking, with no issues, no BSOD
Ran Prime95 torture test for 4 hours, with no problems
I’ve never overclocked anything
The PC is protected by Nod32 Internet Security from day 0
Switching parts wasn’t an option as I didn’t want to mess around with that during COVID
Soo… yes, this is it in a nutshell, I’m pretty much out of ideas so if anyone has any idea I would be grateful for some help here. Thank you.
